Time to re-write the narrative. Two of those 3 losses have come against UGA (one natty team) and the other is against Duke. We have a great shot at taking it to ole Brian Kelly. He doesn't have much success in Death Valley. I'm also really interested to see how Miami does with Carson Beck. To me, he's probably the biggest story in CFB. He was "the dude" coming into last year and really petered out down the stretch - I think a lot of this was due to the fact that UGA had some of the worst receivers in all of CFB. Will be interesting to see how well he can recover/adapt. I think he'll be good. Gonna be a fun year. Feels like the program is very close to firing on all cylinders.

David Hale: Week 1 includes a terrific showdown between Clemson and LSU, teams that could be ranked in the preseason top 10, have playoff -- maybe national title -- expectations and and want a win to set the early-season narrative. Clemson has opened three of the past four seasons with a loss, including a blowout against Georgia in 2024. But this is supposed to be a different Tigers team -- more mature offensively, more aggressive on defense under new coordinator Tom Allen. LSU's situation is perhaps worse. The Bayou Bengals haven't won an opener since 2019, and if it doesn't happen this time, it's entirely possible Brian Kelly's head will explode. Or he'll spend all year on the hot seat. Perhaps both. But LSU has done well in the portal, and this should be Kelly's best team in Baton Rouge, so there's ample reason to assume the winner of the Week 1 showdown will be in the title hunt.
